Episode Sixteen – The Body

Released April 6, 2015 | Recorded March 29, 2015

My Body, Your Body, Everybody Move Your Body

The flu, measles, chicken pox: this has been a pretty bad year for us humans. Which is why we dedicate an entire episode to The Human Body. Taking a ride on our Magic School Bus through the body, we’re joined by comedian Carmen Chraim, entrepreneur and yogi Adam Rice and musical guest Kyle Alfred. We explore vaccines, Eiffel Tower-shaped bodies, Japanese tourists getting sick, the origins of transubstantiation, human cheese, touching vs. looking at strangers and much more! Plus, Noah describes how he crosses the street in Germany.

See us live! piffle! is recorded live at the Vagabund Brauerei in Berlin, Germany, but we’ll be doing a special episode at SoundCloud HQ at The Factory in Berlin in April. Limited seats available! Check out our events page for a full show recording schedule.

And, of course, piffle! is on iTunes! Please subscribe and leave us a rating and/or review!
